XTZ Cinema SUB 1x12

The Subwoofer of our new cinema-series, 1X12 was only built for one task: To make you experience the world of true cinema! Therefore we had to forge some entire new paths. 1X12 is unique on the hi-fi-market in many ways but despite its high level of materials, the 1x12 is quite affordable.

Extremely inert cabinet

To ensure that there are no resonances within the cabinet that affect the sound quality, a large effort was made to construct the cabinet as stable as possible. Starting with the trapezoidal shaped cabinet t, the walls are constructed of 18mm MDF, reinforced with 40mm thick bracing, while the baffle is a stout 30mm thick. The base adds an additional 30mm to the cabinet bottom for a total of 48mm to fix the cabinet to the floor and insure all of the high energy transients are reproduced faithfully. Inside, the cabinet is well treated with multiple layers of acoustical damping material. Lastly, the cabinet is elegantly finished with 8 layers of hand rubbed satin black paint to work well with any room décor.

High-End 12” Driver

Required to provide very high sound pressure levels yet remain precise and true to the original music, this challenge we met by using the specially developed low-mass long throw driver. The 12” cone consists of a very strong, long fiber pulp blended material optimizing the diaphragm’s stiffness to weight ratio. Additional advantages of our custom designed driver include:

Advanced level of large signal motor and suspension refinement using KLIPPEL laser based test system

Large aluminum shorting ring to minimize inductance and further lower non-linear distortion

Ultra high temp voice coil with Airflow Maximizer Design

Special surround from NBR with maximum linearity throughout its excursion range

Spider fabricated from unique blend of poly-cotton and pure NOMEX

Claridy Class-D Amplifier

This completely new development has an extraordinary high power output of 500W RMS and almost 3 times that in peak wattage output whenever it is needed. In contrast to many other class-D amplifiers, The Claridy amp has a near ideal clipping characteristics which ensures maximum headroom capability by minimizing the use of limiting circuitry. Never before experienced amount of details and maximum performance are the result of years of design refinement.

Room-Tuning and Sound Adjustments

To provide an optimal sound quality, suited to various room sizes and listener tastes, the 1X12 is equipped with a lot of possibilities to adjust the sound adequately. The included foam plug for the slot vent chamber yields highly detailed sealed box design. Furthermore, it is possible to either change the lower limit frequency or even transform the sealed subwoofer into a bass-reflex system by removing the plug. Further refinements can be made with adjustment of the two EQ’s available and of course volume, phase, crossover frequency.
